Fishing’s Greatest Misadventures presents twenty-six true stories which cover the spectrum from terrifying to comical to downright bizarre. In these pages everyday fishermen, pros, and journalists tell their stories of freak accidents, fishy attacks, pranks, idiotic decisions, eerie or unexplained incidents, and other jaw dropping, adrenalin-pumping calamities.

Here are some of the characters you'll meet inside these pages:

* A sport fisherman who gets taken on harrowing underwater ride by an angry white shark.

Well, today I'm in mourning.  My beloved Lucy (K-1) came down with an unknown illness one week ago yesterday.  We went to the best hospital in the Country I'm sure you've all heard of it Amazon Hospital.  Dr C.S. was wonderful he did everything he could even called in some of his best colleagues to help.  Nothing could be done.  Yesterday morning time of death was finally called at 9:58 A.M.  I'm devastated.  Lucy was a wonderful friend and companion.  She went everywhere with me.  She used to tell me the most wonderful stories.  Some made me cry, some made me laugh and some made me really think.  She will be greatly missed. She made me promise her that I would give her most beloved belongings to a good home.  Her most favorite cover a M-Edge Executive Jacket in the most beautiful blue.  Not sure if it is a Sapphire Blue? It also has the e-luminator light. She didn't want me to strain my eyes at night.  What a dear always thinking of others. Her jacket that she loved to wear when we went to the beach Leisure Jacket.  She'd wear this when ever we went down to the pool or beach.  Such a show off!!!! Then there's her power cord.  She always said it gave her such an energy boost.  And finally her 2 batteries she said she couldn't leave home without them.  (Not sure how much a charge these will hold)  So please send me a pm if you are interested in these items.  I would love to send them all to one home as to save myself having to box them in different packages.  When you get these wonderful items think of my wonderful Lucy!!!! May she rest in peace.

Thanks
Mary

Well Lucy made me promise that I wouldn't lay around weeping for her.  She said that she had a cousin named Ethal that she thought would love to come live with me and keep me company.  She said like her she was a great storyteller and she thought we would make a good fit.  She is on her way right now.  The little dear dropped everything said she would pack her stuff and make the flight out here by sometime next week.  What a wonderful family.  I can't wait to meet her!!!!

I am sure that Lucy will always have a special place in your heart, but Ethel will probably wind your around her little finger pretty quickly too.

Hi Everyone,

So sorry I haven't gotten back to alot of you before now.  I came down with a terrible bug, and today is the first day I have even gotten on the computer since Sunday evening. Still feeling pretty bad, but thought I should check in and let everyone know that I wasn't totally ignoring them.  Boy haven't felt this bad in along time.  I thought I should let everyone know that Lucy's things went to a good home only moments after I posted my original message.   I just want to thank everyone who responded, and again I apologize for not getting back to everyone sooner.  Can't wait for Ethal to get here.  She already has her new skin and cover on the way.

Thanks again
